In Albuquerque, we unified with Dan to do our jobs and kick some butt...and we went from 3rd to 1st in the ratings. |

What were the jobs you referenced?
What is this Different Goal you speak of?
Working to turn the entire newsproduct into several half-hours full of police blotter information?
Creating a culture of fear and loathing?
Yeah, that what our jobs are supposed to be.
Flash 'em! Tease 'em! Scare the BeJeesus out of 'em!!
Don't forget 13 rode the CSI wave along with every other cbs affiliate in the country... (and yes they got there too with some very talented and good people!)
Dan was quirky, bordering on creative...
But he was more a bi-polar Mad-Scientist trying to sell you, us, management, the pub some snake oil.
Entertaining, perhaps... silver tongued, definitely.
I think The Bard sums up Salamone best:
A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
